Currently have a 8 foot burmese python in a 6 foot by 30 inch enclosure and 18 inches high. Im thinking of getting a heat panel from reptile basics because im tired of the bulbs constantly going out. So im just wondering how many watts i would need? Either 80, 120 or 160 ? My basement is around 78 during this time and gets to around 70 in the winter time. And will i also need a thermostat? Thank you
